chain mail = hoax = clutter

well, most of them are.

take for example the one i got. I don't know if the attached PDF was true but it was somehow released at Celestica, signed and approved by the HR for posting. Can anyone from Celestica tell us if a company-wide post or warning like this was ever made? but that's not what this is about. this thread is anti-chain-mail.

anyway. It was a warning about:

One of the officers who works with the DARE programme has passed long the following warning and asked that it be shared with all drivers.

This is an extremely serious matter. If you are driving after dark and you see a car without its headlights on do not flash your lights, do not blow your horn or make any signals to the driver of the other car. This is a new common gang initiation game going on the streets.

The new member being initiated drives along without his headlights on until someone notices and flashes their headlights or makes some other action to signal him. The gang member is now required to chase the car and to shoot at or into the car in order to complete his initiation requirements.

Please take this seriously. This is not a joke. Please pass this on to everyone you know on email and in person. It could save someone's life!

FYI:
People, please. Before you forward something, type in a few keywords in google and append "hoax" at the end (ex above: gang initiation headlights hoax) and see if some matches are found against that chain mail.

sample matches for the above hoax:

why does radj hate chain mail so much even when his inbox has virtually unlimited space?

• it's false
• it gives u a false feeling of fear or hope
• redundant
• it's false

anyway. just mumbling out loud.

and oh.
I didn't do this to save Bloods' face. I'm not pro-Bloods or anything. I hate fellowships and fraternities.
